[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Well, this is in accordance with my Jeffries-extrapolated registry scheme, which I know isn't universally loved. *lol* The 23rd Cuiser block was assigned to the [i]Enterprise[/i] class newbuilds (the ones that weren't [i]Constitution[/i] refits). This around the early 2280s, when Starfleet was recognizing that their production capacity was increasing, and the old hundred-vessel preassigned blocks were going to soon be insufficient, so the decision was made to stop the block system and assign hull numbers sequentially as vessels were ordered, regardless of class, beginning with number 2500. But notice he said if the -A were a newbuild. Starfleet extended the service life of the old [i]Yorktown[/i] to give to Kirk. For the purpose of this hypothetical, I gave it my number for the [i]Levant[/i], one of the ships in fandom that became the -A. NCC-1701 was already scheduled for decommissioning at the time. And Starfleet decided to lead off the new registry system with an uprate to the [i]Excelsior[/i] design, hence NCC-2500, and give it the [i]Enterprise[/i] name. While it was being developed, Starfleet let the [i]Enterprise[/i]-A fly around under Kirk for a few years before retiring her and giving the name to the -B. I gave the -C that number as a lead-off to that block of canon 26xxx registries. The [i]Galaxy[/i] is NCC-70637. The next half-dozen I gave to the ones that were stored incomplete. Then the [i]Yamato[/i] and [i]Odyssey[/i] either side of the [i]Enterprise[/i]-D. Then the [i]Venture[/i] and [i]Trinculo[/i] to round out the initial order. And the number I gave the -E is the higher of the two numbers I've seen for the [i]Sovereign[/i], so I figured why not. :) That's a bit more detail than I was expectiong to go into on this, but I was feeling eloquent. :D --Jonah [EDITed to fix a couple typos and clarify some awkward phrasing.] [/QB][/QUOTE]
